BAND IN A BOX

Dig in MUSIC, you will find that it is really a huge family. (Nobody would say it's not.)CLASSICAL MUSIC, JAZZ, BLUSE, WORLD MUSIC.......can't count with your fingers.

When I started learning piano, i took Classical sores as my main practise materials. I even thought that piano was made for Classical music. Chopin and Beethoven were my favorite composers. I spent most of time on their scores.I have to say,they are geniuses!

Till last year, I started to get to know Jazz music,especially Jazz piano, I totally fell in love with it and desired to study on it.I thought that's amazing when listening to a jazz pianist playing.But its not that easy, there are tons of genres in Jazz. So I have to mention a program which helpped me get to know Jazz better, BAND IN A BOX.

(It seems I've talked too much about things out of the topic)

BAND IN A BOX (BIAB) is a program for both composers and instrument players. It contains thousands of music style, just type in the chord symbols and choose the style you like, it would arrange and play the song for you automatically.

As a piano player,BIAB makes my practice more efficient. When I play the song, Autumn Leaves, BIAB could simulate a Jazz band for me, and I, of course, just need to take care of the piano part. The cool thing is ,when I want to learn a new style, that would be very simple with BIAB, as you know, just choose the style.

Well, I think I don't have to tell more details about using it, but i guarantee that it will be your best practising company or even a teacher ever. If you think the practice on your instrument is bored or you want to get more knowledge about music style, go get a BAND IN A BOX! That would rock your music study!!!
